I (love) promarkers new challenge

I (love) promarkers is back with a WEEKLY challenge yay! They've started with a sketch and to use pink and brown on your design.

The image I went for was the new Sweet Pea stamp - Black rose fairy. I wanted to see how she looked in softer colours. I coloured with promarkers using several shades of pink from pale pink, rose pink & dusky rose through to antique pink. The browns I used vanilla, cocoa, chestnut and henna. Went over the wings & eyebrows with copic spica clear.

For the background I swiped with the edge of cut n dry foam using adirondack lemonade and pink sherbet then dabbed the edges with brilliance coffee bean. Added some iridescent sticky gems for dimension.

Background papers are courtesy of my stampin up rep Helen (I think 2 are DCWV Once upon a time but she'd know more than me!) and the sentiment is from The Stampmans butterfly beauties set.

Searched everywhere for a dusky rose type ribbon then reverted to my trusty old white satin and coloured it with a dusky rose promarker. Yellow gems are prima pearls.



Entering this into...
